    Ha...that's not a name that I thought I would see in this thread.

    Eraserhead and Inland Empire seriously freak with your mind.

    This is equivalent to asking me what brand eraser I prefer on the end of my pencil. I don't know/care really, lol. I have favorite actors but couldn't (being honest) care less about who was behind the scenes of the movie

    I look at it the opposite way...

    The actors are a HUGE part, yes. But the people behind the movie are everything.

    I'm sure for the actual storyline they are, I'm just saying I don't ever pay attention to who is behind the scenes. Out of my top 10 favorite movies, I couldn't name a single one of their directors. lol

    I couldn't sleep last night because I forgot to add Noah Baumbach to my list of favorite directors. He has directed Kicking and Screaming (no, not the crappy Will Ferrell movie), The Squid and The Whale, Margot at the Wedding, and is working on Greenberg for this year.

    Also, Mel Gibson knows how to make movies as well.

    Clint Eastwood has directed some great movies too.
    But otherwise I don't pay a whole lot of attention.
